I am waiting and waiting for a copy of the manuscript I ordered from the British Library. I wonder when it will get here. I wonder if I’ll be able to read it. I wonder if it will give me any insight to what people were doing in period (any moreso than just seeing the text). I wonder what it will be like to own an image of a period recipe that is not only authentic and relevant, but controversial to boot. I wonder if “pomace” means apples or “crushed honeycomb”. I wonder how I can verify any of what people are telling me. I wonder what if the person who recorded that recipe had any idea that people 500 years in the future would even care.
